Ben Hamilton Anderson -David Austin & rose expert

My eagerly awaited new top, 20 is finally here, these are in my opinion, the very best that ⁠‪@david_austin_roses‬ has to offer ranked by myself on disease resistance, vigour , colour, fragrance, and all around appearance. These are the must have roses for every collector
If a particular rose catches your attention, please make sure that you find its personal review in my Instagram story highlights or watch it at any time on my KZfaq channel, simply searching for @the_gardenerben
this list is compiled from the over 130 varieties of David Austin roses I grow and the nearly 200 different varieties growing here in my garden
just because a rose is now discontinued does not mean that in my opinion it is not worth growing. Please do keep a look out for the now retired, varieties, being grown and supplied using the Latin names,

Many of my DA’s are taking a rest due to the intense heat but are healthy and starting to throw out new growth ready for the cooler autumn months. I bought Harlow Carr this year and she has been amazing! So many flowers and was producing a second big flush almost immediately before the first flush had finished. Glad to hear she is in your top 10!

For me for some time now my favorite DA rose has been Princess Anne, and that's partly because the pinks hold the most interest for me. Eustacia Vye is also very tempting, as are really all the pinks. Gabriel Oak's color is slightly wrong for me and looks almost garish on the bush as seen in the DA garden. I see Emily Bronte didn't make the cut but I quite like its nuanced coloration. Thank you for this very current evaluation.

What a terrific countdown, thank you Gardener Ben. We're short of rose selection in NZ this year (Covid meant the overseas budders couldn't come into the country for two seasons) but it would be nice to think some of your favourites will reach us soon. At the moment we have most of your ranking 12-20 in the country, but none at all of your top 11. We received the 2017 new releases this year (Judy Dench and James L Austin). I wondered why you only talk in feet and inches? Is it for your US viewers? Even in the UK nobody under age 52 was taught imperial at school, and of course the rest of the world is entirely metric, so feet and inches are meaningless to us. Would be lovely to have a translation if you can squeeze it into your commentaries. Thank you, I enjoyed watching it.

I got Elizabeth this spring, so I've had her about 5 months. I'm in the US, zone 7b with super hot, dry summers. If you live in a similar climate, I'd recommended planting her in partial shade. I planted Elizabeth in a sunny spot with 9-10 hours of unrelenting hot sun. Big mistake. I may have to move it. While it is flowering and seems to be chugging along, I don't think it's happy with where I planted it as it's neighboring roses are doing fine (Scepter'd Isle and WOH). Also, just be aware that the blooms may open almost pure white with no pink/apricot tones in full sun/hot area. That all said, the scent is amazing and she makes a good cut flower for me.

@vorong2ru 11 ай бұрын

i double that , also the blooms don't last more than a day in the full sun while you can have around 3 days in a shady spot. I have it in the spot where it only gets 2hrs of morning sun and 2 hrs of the evening sun and it seemed to be happy and gives vivid pink flowers.

@the_gardenerben yay! By the way, my sister used to get annoyed whenever I talked about plants, but, I shared your first 10 roses video with her, and it's what helped me convert her to roses. Now, we have a common interest for the first time ever. It has really helped our relationship.

I love my Bring Me Sunshine. I planted it in a big terracotta pot as a bare root last Autumn. The first flush of flowers were the lovely rich warm yellow of yours, the second flush started off a very definite orange gradually fading to pale yellow (which was a bit odd and a little disappointing) the third flush we’re back to yellow and it’s producing a fourth flush of blooms now that are tight buds. I hope it flowers yellow this time. It has produced four very tall canes that have lots more thorns on them compared to the rest of the bush. They’re about four feet tall. Is this normal for this rose please? I’m in Hampshire U.K.

I understand that Lady Emma was retired because it was not doing well and problems with British root stock's. Thank goodness I got my hands on some old dutch stock from a small nursery, and they are thriving . Living in Amsterdam I have noted that the German root stock's are much more robust from roses from the perfume collections like Constant Mosart. Perhaps David Austin should consider using those root stock to improve vigor And revive Lady Emma . Which I consider to be Austins most perfect rose

Very nice review, wish you had included growing zones, had to google each to see if they were able to be grown in my garden. 😩 maybe add in the description? For others… maybe I should’ve done it in this comment! Sorry everyone!

I’m sorry that you didn’t find the information that you required. However, I believe I’m offering a huge amount more information experience and detail in every single video. I produce than any other person producing this kind of content, these videos as you can expect take up a massive amount of time, energy and personal resources none of which is paid for by anybody. This is free content, the biggest suggestion I can make to you is if the rose is for sale in your region it is suitable for you to grow. These are English roses, grown for an English climate. Only certain varieties are released into worldwide production that can handle the growing conditions in other countries.

@vickiehogan6387 10 ай бұрын

Growing zones and other pertinent information is always available on the DA website. Ben gives an abundance of information, spending a great amount of time making videos, and all for free. The least we can do is find the growing zone for ourselves.

Another superb rose review Ben. As a result, I have just ordered two bare root Bring me Sunshine roses! Some 20 years ago, I planted a rose named "Oklahoma' which is still alive but less productive these days. I wonder if you have this rose in your collection or have ever encountered it in one of your client's garden. If so, could you recommend a David Austin rose with similar deep red blooms that have an extremely sweet, old rose fragrance? In anticipation, many thanks!

@the_gardenerben 11 ай бұрын

I hope that you enjoy your new bring me Sunshine. Oklahoma is not one that I’ve come across. There are very few deep red roses within the David Austin collections, I’m afraid

@buddieanon6533 11 ай бұрын

No worries Ben! Apparently, it was developed in the 1960s and is still the official state rose of Oklahoma. There's two UK nurseries who claim to sell it, but both are out of stock. Push comes to shove, if it's been discontinued, I can always attempt to take cuttings. Oh, I can't wait for 'Bring me Sunshine' to arrive. Isn't she a real beauty! @@the_gardenerben

If you’re looking for contrived highly edited content, I’m afraid you’re in the wrong place if you however looking for good expert advice, you are in the right place I’m afraid I am never going to edit my content that much for you. I’m afraid it takes all of the pleasure out of it for me. The names of every single rose are painstaking Lee written out in the description for the video.
